520332 - IRC URL argument pass= does not send password to known networks

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Other Applications Graveyard :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[David Vo [:auscompgeek]]

User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en-GB) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.00
Build Identifier: 

When you try to /attach a known network and use the ?pass= argument, ChatZilla won't identify you to that server.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
/attach a known network, e.g. /attach ircs://moznet/?pass=password
Actual Results:  
You aren't identified to NickServ (or whatever the service's nick is).

Expected Results:  
ChatZilla identifies you to NickServ.

The URL given might also not work properly, as the URL in the network tab is ircs://moznet/ for some reason. Of course, you could type the full network URL in, such as /attach ircs://irc.mozilla.org:6697/?pass=password.

No really, ?pass=password sends  /PASS command to the server - which does server authentication

Nickserv authentication can be done using the autoperform list for that server. http://chatzilla.hacksrus.com/faq/#autoperform

Glen is correct, the format to msg nickserv as a URL is:
/attach ircs://moznet/nickserv,isnick?msg=identify%20password

Hmm... doing /attach ircs://irc.mozilla.org:6697/?pass=password seems to identify to NickServ though...

Uhm, he's right. I blame Unreal, which seems to reinterpret /pass *ONLY* during network connect (using it later gives me a "you can't re-register" response). Although I have no idea why it then doesn't work for the known network case...

This is fixed by my patch in bug 475387, so I'm marking them dependent.

This should be fixed now.
